Last year’s hit event is back and bigger with more dates and more chances to interact with the Zoo’s animal family. Tickets on sale now.
The Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden’s newest family friendly event is back for more wild experiences as Breakfast with the Animals returns every Saturday in May with $2 of every ticket sold going to monarch butterfly conservation.
“We were blown away by the enormous response to Breakfast with the Animals last year, so we’ve been working hard to make this year’s events even more memorable,” said Jenna Dodson, OKC Zoo Events Manager. “Even those who attended our first year of Breakfast with the Animals will find new foods, new animal experiences, and new reasons to love the OKC Zoo.”
Each Saturday in May—the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st—ticket holders will be welcomed into the Love’s Pachyderm Building at 9 a.m. for a pancake bar with all the fixings, eggs, bacon, potatoes, non-alcoholics breakfast beverages, and coffee provided by Scooter’s. Once inside, they’ll hear from animal caretakers, meet animal ambassadors, and enjoy a giraffe feeding at the all-new Expedition Africa! Kids can also take part in a monarch maze game, trying to get their butterflies through their migration safely.
After the event, guests are welcome to explore the rest of the Zoo and stay until closing. Tickets are $56 per adult ($36 for ZOOfriends Passport holders) and $46 per child ($30 for ZOOfriends members). Tickets are available now at okczoo.org/breakfast.
The Oklahoma City Zoo’s regular daytime hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with the last entry at 4 p.m. Purchase advance Zoo admission tickets at okczoo.org/tickets and avoid the entry lines.
